When it has been a long day at work I don't always feel like preparing a full blown meal. I sometimes fire up the grill and with tongs in hand brush some halloumi cheese with a little olive oil, grill some flatbread and slice a few tomatoes. A quick and easy meal ...or appetizer under different circumstances.

I found this recipe from Bobby Flay. His original recipe calls for you to barbecue the entire piece of halloumi whole but I prefer to slice mine into 1/2-inch thick slices. You decide..... both ways are probably delicious!!!

**Grilled Halloumi Cheese**(adapted from a recipe by Bobby Flay)

1/2 pound Halloumi, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces.2 T oregano leaves1 T olive oil1 grilled lemonPita bread, grilled**************************Brush the cheese slices with olive oil. Place onto a medium hot grill for 2 minutes on each side, or until it has grill marks. Sprinkle with oregano. Drizzle the olive oil on top and squeeze the lemon juice over the cheese.

I haven't had halloumi in a long while. I was introduced to it at a little Mediterreanean place called Pasha's in Miami Beach,FL. It didn't look like yours, that's for sure. I'm 1000% positive yours tastes better (and is fresher)

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
